Nanofluid‐Enhanced Laser Lithotripsy Using Conducting Polymer Nanoparticles
Incorporating polymeric nanoparticles, PEDOT:PSS, with a high near‐infrared absorption coefficient into the fluid significantly enhances the dusting efficiency of Ho:YAG laser lithotripsy for kidney stone treatment. This approach, which leverages the control of light‐matter interactions, integrates seamlessly with the current laser lithotripsy workflow.

Abstract Background Lower pole renal stones measuring 1–2 cm remain challenging to treat. While mini‐percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini‐PCNL) provides high stone‐free rates (SFRs), it carries tract‐related morbidity. Flexible ureteroscopy (f‐URS) is less invasive but limited in SFR.
